Recently Karl Juthans started this piece, pictured below:
This piece has been done in the American Hand Poked Style, and took about 6-7 hours to complete. Picture below is the second session of the tattoo.
Hand poking tattoos and tapping tattoos trace their technique and roots back to multiple cultures and this style in particular is a bit different. For example, the Samoan and Polynesian tattooing techniques utilizes two tools to tap the the piece onto the skin. Another variation is the traditional Japanese style of tattooing, which involves the use of a long rod to ink the tattoo into place.
Stay tuned for more updates on this style and if you’re interested in a custom tattoo, please feel free to stop by our award-winning Honolulu tattoo studio.
